use that money to pay for tax breaks for the middle class. but the business community has been talking about how horrible it is, having a tax cut when the economy is so fragile, robbing the economy of its recovery. there are a lot of democrats who are boggling. we will see if they can deliver. i do not think they can deliver the promise. >> actually, a former member of the obama administration drew the same conclusion. >> whether we are talking about rahm emanuel or peter orszag, [inaudible] the rights and in "the new york times" calling for an extension of the tax cuts that the rich has. >> this is something that the president can draw a line on. he does have a veto power. he can decide whether or not to extend the tax cuts for the rich for a year or something like that, or not. it seems to me the best thing to do would be to pull it back for those people who make less than $200,000, and will veto anything that does not help them. >> george stephanopoulos tried to nail him down on that question, but he said he would not necessarily veto. >>
